Key challenge: forecasting renewable energy
• Real-time response
• System design, e.g. Network, Storage Size
• Machine learning and analytics solution
• Integration of information from multiple sources
Technical approach:
• 15 minute intervals for the next 24 hours
• Unified architecture for renewable energy systems
output forecasting
• Extend to Photovoltaics, Solar Thermal Systems, and
hybrid systems
• Integrate with Virtual Power Plant+ (VPP+)
• Asset management and Predictive Maintenance
• Independent of renewable solution vendors
Customer: Independent Power Producer
